The bards have come out of the forest. Yes, the Blind Guardians are back baby! And did they ever do it in style. Surely one of the year's most anticipated albums, At The Edge Of Time is sure to rank high on personal lists for a while.

Hit in the face with the 9+ minute long opening masterpiece "Sacred World", I had to replay it for half an hour before being able to continue on with the rest of the album. Majestic orchestral intro, grand entrance killer riffs, and vocals to die for. The first thought that went through my head at that exact time "This is already better than the entire previous album". Hell, this is Blind Guardian with a renewed energy and a hint of progressive influences I only dreamt about in the past.

I really don't understand all those comments like "baaah it's more progressive than power", I don't care if it's Power Metal, Progressive Metal or Melodic Progressive Power Germanic Bardic Metal...
I don't like an album for its label or for something else but for its songs, and those songs are just amazing!
And I'm not afraid to say that this album is nothing less than a true masterpiece made by true geniuses!

I mean, writing a song like Sacred Worlds would be a dream for thousands of bands!

Though I have to admit Sacred Worlds is an addictive song (in fact, that song alone earned the rating), my overall feeling is...boredom. I gave the album a couple of chances, even heard some of the songs live, but I still find nothing in it. And it really doesn't matter whether I choose to call it Porgressive, Power, Symphonic or whatever.

Is this considered power metal? If so, no wonder I have about TWO power metal albums in my ENTIRE collection. I gave this release a few spins but I just don't get it - what am I missing? I guess power metal doesn't melt my butter...

what are those
Yes this is power, but same time this is better much better as previously and now since new is out weaker as last one , if band will realize next album it has chance go back deeper in roots as they were in speed and PM era when I like them
Talenor is best song I knew it when it was out, and I know it now as well
